We strive to support you in achieving self independence as you build confidence in accessing and navigating systems and programs in the community.

What is innovative community participation under NDIS?

Everyone has an important part to play in their community. Unfortunately, many people with disabilities face barriers that can prevent them from participating in their community as they would like. These barriers range from physical issues such as access to social or psychological challenges that may feel insurmountable. The Innovative Community Participation part of NDIS is intended to address these barriers; in particular, equipping clients with the social and interpersonal skills they need to play a full, active part in their community if they wish to do so.

Innovative Community Participation Services include the following:

  • Gaining awareness of the benefits that community participation can bring
  • Enhancing self-awareness
  • Improving self-care
  • Coaching to improve emotional regulation, confidence, self-esteem and social skills
  • Gaining improved awareness of social norms and socially acceptable behaviour in a range of environments
  • Learning how to access help in the community when specialist assistance isn’t available
  • Coping with disability within a community context, including raising awareness of the services and adjustments available for people with disabilities
  • Accessing the provision of community-based social opportunities
  • Identifying hobbies and interests that might be pursued in a community setting and facilitating participation

How can I access this type of support?

NDIS clients need to have ‘Capacity Building: Increased Social and Community Participation’ identified in their NDIS plan as an outcome. The funding that’s attached to achieving this outcome can be used for several different purposes, including Innovative Community Participation programs.

 

Innovative Community Participation Services may be delivered in a group setting, individually or through a range of other mechanisms. Clients that have the appropriate goal identified in their NDIS plan can access this service from any recognised NDIS provider.
